Suzuki's Stewart podiums at AMA Indy motorcycle SX

Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing's James Stewart celebrated a podium finish at the eleventh round of the 2013 AMA/ FIM World Supercross Championship at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday night.

Stewart fastest qualifier

Stewart once again set the fastest qualifying time in practice and his speed on the Yoshimura Suzuki RM-Z450 continued in his heat race, where he got a great start and led all eight laps to his seventh heat race win of the year. In the twenty-lap Main Event, he took over the lead within seconds and led the first seven laps before making a mistake and briefly stalling the bike. Undaunted, Stewart rejoined the fray in fifth and worked his way up to a podium finish.

Stewart:

"I almost stalled it in that same place twice. I just stalled it! I don't know if I hit the brakes; I don't know what happened, but it's definitely a bummer because races like that, they're fun to be in. I was on it from lap one and I felt good. I was pulling away but that happened and I just had to regroup and come back. The Yoshimura Suzuki RM-Z450 worked great in my heat race and even better in the Main Event. That was just a stupid move, bogus; that's what you do when you first get on a motorcycle is stall it! But we'll regroup and come back strong for Toronto."

Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing's next event is the twelfth round of the 2013 AMA/ FIM World Supercross Championship on Saturday March 23rd at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario in Canada.
